Ive images of a Fast and Furious scene here with loads of 75's and ZT' now.

Does Vin Diesel drive a V8 then and Paul Walker a 1.8T with NOS?

I'm going to have a go at this when i'm on a flat dry road and i'll post my time. Surely it can't take long to get to 5000 revs in 2nd gear!

From memory 2nd runs out at 40 in a CDTi, so theres an extra change for us diesel owners.

why is all this being dragged up again ,if you read the posts you`ll see someone else counted and they counted to 8 seconds.. so on that i guess that my 18t at some point has been tuned to the spec it was supposed to be before rover detuned it for emissions purposes i believe they dropped it to 150bhp frm 169 bhpso with them few more horses it would make sense why my 18oot is faster then the average .. since this post was first done i have asked the previous owner if he did anything to it ,he said no but he bought it from a young fella ,so its possible that he has done something to it ...,

Chrissy I know you love your 1.8 and after reading all of this thread I honestly believe you are trying to convince yourself that you have got something special,where as in reality you have a bog standard car that you feel is quicker than it realy is

Sorry
